ED 414 - The Community Teacher (S) (W)

3 Credit(s)

The Community Teacher is a course that thematically links the four disciplinary, service-learning courses (ANTH 261, ED 403 and ED 413) of the Community Engaged Teacher Education Program (CETE). ED 414 integrates the three component CETE courses by focusing on equity through cultural proficiency, culturally relevant pedagogy, and social justice within a community of practice. Though some learning occurs within traditional class time, much of the time will be delegated to classroom fieldwork, professional development sessions alongside practicing teachers, community activities, and other selected events. Teacher candidates develop strong relationships with their community teaching partners, community mentors, and WU faculty members as they examine their internal mindsets and the effects of these perspectives on their teaching and students. Participants learn that relationship-building with students, their families, and their communities is at the heart of effective teaching and learning. This course includes Stage 3 Fieldwork.
